After the flood at the junction of Moss Lane and Hanginroyd Lane. The building on the left has had many uses: Pentecostal Church, at the time of this picture a school, and later an ice-cream factory.
The building on the extreme left, formerly the Freemason's Arms, was known as the 'red house', and is now apartments. The next 2 buildings have since been demolished, the next is now a cafe known as No 72 Burnley Road. 1916
Are these people just watching the spectacle or are they stranded waiting for the water to recede? The buildings with roof vents are part of Thornber's hatchery.
Flood damage to the mill. Not a textile mill but a flour mill on Bridge Lanes, today the site of the Day Centre and car park. Photo taken late 1800s. From a stereographic photo.
